Sorry to post from a strange address, but most news sites I use still have
no postings in this newsgroup. Funny though - I can see things like
bionet.diagnostics. Just no bionet.software.srs. I hope someone is reading
this. Hello Thure. Thure? Are you there Thure?

- deleting unwanted entries from a set before saving or linking
(very useful for set refinement)
- loading a set of entries in FOSN format for further processing
- doing all this on a vt100 terminal
so yes, on behalf of users far away at the Sanger Centre in Cambridge,
UK, and elsewhere, I would very much like the vt100 interface back.
